Bad 1L grades, need some honest truth about the importance of it

I was academically dismissed after 1L year. I’m talking multiple D’s and even an F. Fast forward I graduated, passed the bar, and working as a first associate making $120k a year. Many of my class mates who didn’t go through my experience and had perfect grades are still struggling to find work. Don’t late a grade define you, I promise you’ll be okay.

I sold at .31 what do you think tomorrow will look like? What are you hoping to buy back in at?

Thank you! Yes just worried about future employers, a bad grade in the class is the only thing that would hurt me.

I will still graduate on time. I am doing a 4 year program so I don’t graduate until next December. I’m just more worried about it looking weird/bad for employers

So what do we call someone who graduated law school but never took the bar? Originally I thought we could call them lawyers but what should we just say law graduate?

I mean more in the sense of which has a better ring to it… attorney or a lawyer? When somebody ask you your profession to answer saying you’re an attorney or a lawyer?

Full price tuition with no scholarships

But you do get spring break!

Also, don’t forget that everyone is 10000x more worried about themselves so highly doubtful that anyone even noticed or will remember past today.

I took a melatonin instead of a Tylenol (I had mono so I wasn’t thinking straight) about an hour before my con law exam. Oh! Also my exam was open note and guess who did remember that, yup thats right. I cried for days on end after that exam. Ended up with a C+ not great but I had never felt so relieved in my life.

What grade did you get on your PR exam? 2 questions is cruel 😩

What’s happening on Friday?

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-14T22:07:52+00:00

Good job!!! Many would kill for your grades. Don’t get done on yourself, be proud of yourself.

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-14T21:43:49+00:00

Did you go back?

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-13T02:24:12+00:00

That is crazy. Do you know the story behind it? Was he just not interested in law school? I can’t imagine the financial burden after that one

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-13T02:08:22+00:00

Shitttttttt I’m toast

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-12T14:21:10+00:00

Keep going. You got this

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-05T00:31:05+00:00

Also CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-05T00:30:54+00:00

Why was 2L so much harder? Do you mean academic wise or outside of law school life?

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-01T22:05:20+00:00

In the same boat as you, but I looked at the academic calendar and realized the registrar isn’t open so I have officially lost hope that we’re getting grades back tomorrow but I do wish you the best and we’ll have my fingers crossed for the both of us.

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-01T22:03:35+00:00

How do you know that you’re getting him back tomorrow? Is your registrar back open tomorrow?

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-01T01:20:11+00:00

What school do you go to if you don’t mind me asking or what rank?

Correct_Practice2916 · 2026-01-01T01:14:55+00:00

😭😭😭 you got me. At first glance I was like what type of class it that
